Cravath IS the most prestigous firm in America. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.243.236.29 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC).

Please sign and date your comments. I am not going to get into an argument about whether one can really identify the single most prestigious firm in the US (I don't really believe claims that should be made in Wikipedia articles unless they are sourced to a third party), but I would not that growing up in the UK legal system, we always had the belief that Sullivan & Cromwell was the most prestigious firm in the US.

I would add, that as a dual-qualified lawyer in both New York and England, Cravath is arguably the most prestigious firm in the US (whatever that means), but in London it barely registers. To claim that it is the most prestigious firm in the world is simply false, especially given London's current pre-eminence in finance and cross-border work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.213.106 (talk) 02:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
